Yesterday I ran into an old acquaintance who works for the a chain of stores, luckily he was with an employee of Dong-suh Food, so I asked about TiO’s situation. Kkkkk he said one sentence: “Because of TiO, Dong-Suh Food is taken by storm.” kkkkk

Because he is responsible for sales, he could only talk about the sales. In whatever store, TiO is in shortage, demand is much higher than supply.

In that same day, in some markets, TiO was out of stock.

That’s why, now not only the factories, but also the head office, are working hard, not distinguishing day and night, so that they can supply enough products.

Then he said: “I wonder why so suddenly TiO sells like crazy.”

Then my acquaintance who was next to him, told him that it was because JYJ’s Park Yoochun filmed a CF for TiO kkkkk.

Then he pointed at me and said: “She’s Park Yoochun’s fan. Since Park Yoochun filmed that CF, everyday, JYJ’s fans come to me and ask if my stores still have TiO, they simply live with TiO hanging on their mouth.” (LMAO, I don’t even know if that makes sense, but I don’t want to change it!!!)

When MICKY TIO came out, the fans also began a propaganda: “As long as MICKY endorses for it, the world only has one drink: TiO.”

Then that employee said: “People in factories and head office are restless, and sales employees are terrified.”

“Products sell fast, of course it’s good, but still can’t understand why the sales became good so suddenly?” “It’s only a seasonal product, so even though knowing it was because of Micky’s CF, the sky-rocketing sales are still astonishing. Is it MICKY effect? We don’t even have spare time to think about it.” That’s the thoughts of many salesmen kkkk.

The employee repeatedly said: “But really I did not expect that MICKY’s commercial effect could reach that extent.”

He also told me that when he would have came back to the head office, in meetings he would definitely talk about MICKY effect as well as the fans’ words, the reactions of consumers.

So I told him “One day one TiO” (1 TiO per day??? LOL), the fans’ reaction, JYJ’s history, and asked their advertising team to make more posters to give to customers when they buy products, they will be extremely happy. I hope that he will suggest that in his meetings.

During one hour that we had been talking about TiO, my pride as a fan was soaring kkkkk.

Oh by the way the fans living in XXX can easily buy TiO. I heard that store has recently opened. Because the sales were still not good, salesmen in other stores always said to her: “Because of TiO, the sales have been increasingly crazily. How about you?” kkkk. And now TiO storage has just arrived. So the fans living in XXX, if possible, please go there to buy TiO kkkkk

TIO MICKY is the best kkkk

JYJ3 NOTE: This is the most thoughtful and the most informed article on the JYJ issue that we’ve seen in a long time. Please read to better understand JYJ’s place in the history of the Korean entertainment system, why they are being blocked so thoroughly, and why they must not fail.

The 101 Methods With Which to Drive Out JYJ from Broadcast? “You say you’ll sing on TV”? JYJ Fanclub Publicizes a Parodying Advertisement

At the situation in which Park Yoochun, Kim Jaejoong, and Kim Junsu, who have withdrawn from TVXQ and are newly active as JYJ, cannot appear on Television, JYJ’s fan club ‘DNBN’ has printed a full-page advertisement in a non-fee newspaper and is becoming a topic of conversation.

This advertisement, which is in the form of a parody of a book’s introducing, is formed in the structure of introducing an imaginary book titled “The 101 Methods With Which to Drive Out JYJ from Broadcast.” The advertisement used phrases of irony such as “You say you’ll sing on TV?” and “Entertainers Who’ve Forgotten Their Place as Contractees, the Perfect Method for Blocking Them from Broadcast, All Revealed” to describe the situation that JYJ currently faces.

JYJ fans are arguing: Through the court decision in 2010 JYJ received the judgment that JYJ must be “guaranteed of freedom in activities without interference,” but that due to the interference of mega-entertainment company SM Entertainment (hereafter, SM) and the Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Art Industry (hereafter KFPCAI) which is at the beck and call of SM (T/N: literally, “tries to figure out SM’s mind and be self-conscious”) JYJ is unable to appear on TV.

It is true that KFPCAI is interfering as an association with JYJ’s activities, doing such deeds as sending letters of official demands/requests for its member companies and each broadcast companies to refrain from casting or airing JYJ. Further, is the reality that the broadcasts agencies, at the beck and call of the mega-entertainment companies, too avoid JYJ’s appearances, so that JYJ cannot appear in any proper broadcast programs even though they record #1 on digital music sold. The court commanded that if an entity interferes with JYJ’s activities that it pays 20,000,000 KRW (approximately 20,000 USD) per instance, but it is that the mega-entertainment companies and broadcast companies are not taking it seriously (T/N: literally, think it light-weight).

JYJ is the first case that has quit the current system of mega-entertainment companies. The question of what kind of activities they engage in is an issue that can act as the standard that canchange the treatment of many idol stars who are groaning under the so-called “slave contracts,” and as such is an important question for the normalization of the entertainment industry.

However, paradoxically, this has been felt as an anxiety to the entertainment companies who believe that “if JYJ shows the appearance of achieving success outside of SM, it may cause cracks in the current “trainee” system,” and is creating a consensus that whatever it takes, they must“block” JYJ from appearing on TV. This is evaluated to be a kind of a cartel/collusion with the aim thatJYJ must be forced to not succeed so that they become the “example case” with which to clamp down on the trainees and the affiliated entertainers.

It is an issue of attention whether due to the active activities of the JYJ fandom in society that JYJ will step over the contradiction of the entertainment industry and be able to meet with fans on a proper stage in a broader way. JYJ fans have continuously raised the problem of JYJ’s lack of appearance on TV through bus advertisements, subway advertisements, and the like. No matter what happens to the future activities of JYJ, the activities of JYJ fan clubs such as DNBN is worthy of being called the most active and passionate fandom (in history) after the “Seotaiji and the Kids” fan club, and will remain as an important signpost in its recording of the fandom’s societal activities.

While group JYJ has filed a lawsuit against Japan’s AVEX for interfering with their efforts to hold a concert, Japanese fans have taken action and protesting against AVEX to stop interfering with JYJ’s activities.

JYJ’s representative agency C-JeS entertainment recently filed an injunction with Japan Tokyo District Courts charging [AVEX] for interfering with [their] efforts to hold a concert, stating that “AVEX’s response regarding the cancellation of charity event for Japan major earthquake [relief] is unjust.”

Furthermore, on the 19th, Japanese fans also sent a public statement which starts [with the words], “JYJ’s Japanese fans make the following demands of JYJ’s current management company, Avex” to AVEX.

Japanese fans pointed out the problems regarding JYJ’s Japanese activities, stating, “in September 2010, with sudden announcement from your company, JYJ’s activities were suspended, and the opportunity to listen to JYJ sing was deprived from us JYJ fans. Since then, JYJ’s activities in Japan have remained suspended till this day. During this entire time, we have kept waiting for the resumption of JYJ’s Japanese activities, and have continued to send such demands to your company, but even now have not received an acceptable explanation for the suspension of their activities.”

Furthermore, they stated, “Moreover, on the matter of the earthquake relief charity event that JYJ is to hold, the representative of the venue where the event was going to be held has recently made an announcement citing contract problem with your company as a reason that has cast doubt on the materialization of the event as planned. This event represents JYJ’s well-wishing for Japan after many years of doing activities here, and is a charity event they are to voluntarily come to Japan to conduct, as a segment of their effort expressed immediately after the earthquake to support the disaster-stricken areas.”

One by one, they refuted each problem presented by AVEX about JYJ, stating “To prevent even an event purposed to revive (Japan) from happening, during a time when we as a nation need every possible effort to recover from the aftermath of this unprecedented earthquake, is an action that we feel is very questionable,” and demanded the following:

1. Recognize that C-JeS is a business entity officially registered in Korea in December 2009. In Korea, JYJ has been appointed to promote the Overseas Korean Trader Association as honorary ambassadors, and to use a reason that did not cause any problem in (JYJ’s) home country, that the representative of C-JeS has himself denied, and to give the Japanese society false and negative impression of JYJ, we find your ground (that the reason was based on) to be very questionable.

2. When JYJ began their Japanese activities in April 2010, the problem regarding the affirmation of the three’s exclusive contract with SM was already resolved by the October 2009 court decision. Consequently, the reason your company used to suspend JYJ’s activities, “Depending on the progress of the exclusive contract affirmation lawsuit between JYJ’s three members and SM, there is a possibility that their exclusive contract with our company may become invalid” (quote from Avex’s official statement) has been rendered a non-issue. Rather, it (the contract issue) was a problem that your company needed to resolve, as your company signed exclusive contract with JYJ while the contract signed (by Avex) with SM as Tohoshinki remained in effect, we feel your logic to make the issue a problem with JYJ is very questionable.

3. When your company, in spite of the aforementioned circumstances, used corporate compliance as a reason that your company would no longer provide management services to the three, it meant that the contract could no longer be maintained as per normal. To restrain the three with the contract while not letting them to engage in entertainment activities, we must say is very socially unjust behavior. We find it very hard to understand that in spite of the fact that both JYJ and their fans desire for (JYJ’s) Japanese activities, such a condition (the suspension of activities) has continued for as long as 8 months.

Furthermore, they brought up the problem of selling JYJ’s music and DVD while forcing [JYJ] to such a suspension of activities, and conveyed fans’ position, stating “If there is no possibility of improvement of the current situation, (we ask you to) please as soon as possible resolve the contract problem (work out the validity or invalidity of your contract with the three), and return JYJ to their supporting fans.”

Meanwhile, JYJ’s representatives previously revealed, “we had prepared a charity concert for Eastern Japan earthquake relief to repay Japanese fans for their support, but the concert venue was canceled due to the occurrence of external pressure. However, we have decided to push ahead with the concert to keep our promise with Japanese fans.”

On this, AVEX has claimed, “Japan major earthquake relief event was planned without previous permission from [AVEX], who hold the exclusive rights in managing JYJ’s activities within Japan. We only took just and reasonable action against such violations as ones who retain exclusive rights to [JYJ’s] management in Japan.”
